Contradictory Abstract Nouns This week I am exploring the naivete in wisdom and the wisdom in naivete. Yesterday, while reading The Senses: Design Beyond Vision edited by Ellen Lipton and Andrea Lipps, I read, “Sensory design activates touch, sound, smell, taste, and the wisdom of the body.” That really opened up this week’s study forContinue reading “#Writober Day 3: Naive Skeletal Wisdom”

#Writober Day 2: Feelin’ a little batty
R. I. P. XVII Readers Imbibing Peril Peril of the listen! This morning I finished listening to Dante’s Inferno. I think Clive Barker was heavily influenced by this work while making Hellraiser. Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s prompt is “Bats.” I used the same fabric as I did last year, but I turned it intoContinue reading “#Writober Day 2: Feelin’ a little batty”
#Writober Day 1 and #SoCS: Monster Me
Hello! And welcome to Experience Writing’s Writober kick-off celebration. We’re somehow still having summer here in the Seattle area, and I’m about to go dive in the lake to cool off, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get in the Halloween spirit. I had a ton of fun this morning with Tourmaline .’s prompt “Monster”Continue reading “#Writober Day 1 and #SoCS: Monster Me”
#Writober Begins Tomorrow: bring on the spooky thrills and chills
In my mid-September post How to Capture the Love in Apathy and the Apathy in Love, I spent a little time looking forward to fun events in October. Now it’s almost here, and I hope you’ll join me for all the reading, writing, and photography fun. R. I. P. XVII Readers Imbibing Peril Peril ofContinue reading “#Writober Begins Tomorrow: bring on the spooky thrills and chills”
#OctPoWriMo Day 31 & #NaNoWriMo Eve: Happy Halloween!
For Tourmaline .’s last Halloween Challenge this year, costume, I used every one of my lights and “costumed” my driveway. I really enjoyed starting each day jumping out of bed and grabbing my camera, so I made this November prompt calendar to keep myself inspired. I hope you will join me and leave links toContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 31 & #NaNoWriMo Eve: Happy Halloween!”
#OctPoWriMo Day 30 & #SoCS: The Sun Came Out and the World is a Party
Here’s the November daily prompts calendar I mentioned on Thursday. These words are much more abstract than the Halloween Challenge, but I’m hoping they will challenge me to create photographs that represent and inspire the feeling of these words while I work on my novel. I hope you will join me and post your linksContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 30 & #SoCS: The Sun Came Out and the World is a Party”
#OctPoWriMo Day 29: Warning! Nature’s Gory Horror Made Me Scream!
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, scream, I made a new filter to visually symbolize the horrible screams my skeleton candles made all night. I’m afraid they were traumatized by yesterday’s photoshoot. But then I went out to get the mail, and nature really made me scream. This is a real warning, I will be sharingContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 29: Warning! Nature’s Gory Horror Made Me Scream!”
#OctPoWriMo Day 28: Carving Into the Gooey Bits
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, carve, I went to grab a carving knife from the knife block, but it was missing. Mr. Skeleton had gotten to it first and had gone on a skeleton candle murder spree. Unlike yesterday, I had a lot of fun this morning, and everything worked the way I wanted itContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 28: Carving Into the Gooey Bits”
#OctPoWriMo Day 27: So Many Moon Songs
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, moon, I returned to the full moon created in my hearth scene the other day and played with some color gels and bokeh creatures I didn’t get to yesterday. OctPoWriMo Today’s prompt, “Expecting,” ties in well with this morning’s efforts: nothing went as expected, reminding me that expectations lead toContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 27: So Many Moon Songs”
#OctPoWriMo Day 26: Playing with the Upside-down
For Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge, creature, I experimented with an effect I noticed when I started to play with bokeh in the mirror: it’s possible to take a photo of a filter both right side up and upside down. These are my first experiments with the effect, but I got some fun results. OctPoWriMo Today’sContinue reading “#OctPoWriMo Day 26: Playing with the Upside-down”
